4.00Head phones were a challenge, but a super interesting tour. We’ve been to a lot of cathedrals but this one was unusual and history is interesting.
Disorganised and dismissive

2.00The tour operator didn’t send any joining instructions so it meant we went to the wrong queue initially and then had to figure out the meeting place by ourselves. Guide was dismissive when we finally found him. The site is incredible though, especially the science behind the original mosque architecture.

5.00A very correct organization with a visit to the mosque/cathedral extraordinarily guided by Adrian very enjoyable and enriching details the passage of the centuries in its execution and avatars until the arrival of Christians who respect the construction for its magnitude. A 100×100 recommended experience.
